But 1a would have to be Rico Fata. I remember playing on an old NHL game on the PC and found him on the Calgary Flames roster...very fast skater, so I traded for him before the Pens ever signed him, thought he might develop into something in real life. Decent in a video game, not so much for the real Penguins.

I always liked Satan, starting from when he was with the Oilers, because of his name and arched eyebrows which looked the part. That's pretty irrational. For many years his id in many hockey databases was 666. Still true on Yahoo: ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/666
